Samantha is 17

Samantha is our second daughter.  She is opinionated, blunt and very set in her ideas.  She has no idea what she wants to "be" when she grows up and it's stressing her out.  She works at Tasty Freeze after school and weekends.  She's a senior in high school and she has been on dance team for six years.  For the past year she has been dating a boy in her grade named Jonathan Pace.  He says he wants to be an EMT.

Samantha loves doughnuts, so that's what she got for her birthday cake.  She could live on fruit and hoards watermelons and strawberries in her room .  She is smart (loves math, hates English).  She is brave, kind and helpful.  She keeps her room decently clean (it's cleaner now that it's only her in there) and she is responsible as far as respecting curfews and getting assignments finished for school.  She is beautiful - a whiz with make-up, even though she doesn't need it.

Of all the kids, she is the one that wants to stay little.  She's in no hurry about being an adult, even though the "adult" stuff seems to suit her - job, responsibilities, punctuality.  She will be amazing once she decides what she wants to do.
